...feel that this implication may not be so much a malicious attempt to malign an Afro-American protest movement as a poorly conceived article stemming from gross ignorance about the movement. Since Malcolm X, a militant Muslim leader, has openly declared that Lincoln's book is a fair representation of his movement and since Lincoln has almost singlehandedly tried to bring the truth about the Muslims to the American public in the face of bitter attacks against the Muslims in white newspapers, Negro newspapers, Time, and now the CRIMSON, there would be no reason for the movement to prevent Lincoln...

Some people are candidates for certain types of strokes as a result of what happened-or didn't happen-before they were born. The human fetus goes through a phase in which the internal carotid artery on each side feeds into three branch arteries and supplies most of the blood to its hemisphere of the brain...

Then, though he himself is a distinguished Milanese businessman, Merzagora also threw in a blunt word of warning about the malign influence exercised on Italy's government by the nation's great capitalists and its huge government corporations, which have steadily expanded since Fascist days.
